Red flags on quotes
Verbal-only pricing, deposits above 20%, cash-only discounts, and unwillingness to itemise materials by brand are the top four. Any one is a pass.
What a defensible quote looks like
Written scope with photos, itemised labour + materials, 30-day validity, WSIB and liability certificate attached, and named workmanship warranty (5 years is the current bar for inspection).
Vetting a Erin contractor
Three checks that filter 90% of problems: (1) live WSIB clearance certificate, (2) named directors matching corporate filings, (3) two Erin references from the last 12 months you can call — not read.
Common questions
Do you need a permit for inspection in Erin?
Cleaning and inspection are permit-exempt in Erin. Structural masonry, liner replacement, or a new appliance install typically need one — we pull it as part of the job when required.
What if it rains or snows on the booking day?
Roof-side work reschedules to the next dry window at no charge. Interior scopes (firebox, damper, appliance) proceed regardless.
Is inspection covered by home insurance in Erin?
Sudden damage (storm, animal, appliance failure) is usually covered minus deductible. Gradual wear generally isn't. A written pro assessment before the claim call materially improves outcomes.
When's the best time of year for inspection in Erin?
Late September through mid-November with Erin averaging 127cm of snow starting December. Spring (April–May) is the second window and often 10–15% cheaper.
How much does inspection cost in Erin?
Most Erin jobs land between $170 and $272. Complex access or heritage masonry can reach $442. We quote fixed price after a free on-site scope.
Are you WETT and WSIB certified?
Yes — WETT SITE-Comprehensive #C-46082, CSIA #12408, and active WSIB #7248194. Certificates emailed on request before the job.
Do you offer same-day inspection in Erin?
Usually — call before 9am and we'll confirm a same-day arrival window inside Erin for most standard scopes.
Do you service condos and heritage homes in Erin?
Yes. Condo boards in Erin typically want a scope letter and insurance certificate 48 hours out; heritage properties need product substitutions we pre-source.
